WH says Trump has 'no intention' of firing Mueller, despite criticism

That special counsel, former Federal Bureau of Investigation director Robert Mueller, is now reportedlyinvestigating Mr Trump's own actions in a probe that could dog his presidency for the foreseeable future.

"You read all about it and I've been reading about it, the last couple of months, the seriousness and awful situation with surveillance all over the place", Trump told "Fox and Friends" co-anchor Ainsley Earhardt about Comey during an interview, alongside First Lady Melania Trump, at the White House on Thursday.

Trump had raised the possibility of tapes in May when he fired Comey, who was heading the FBI investigation into alleged Russia's meddling in the November 8 2016 USA presidential election.

With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea... That special counsel, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, is now reportedly investigating Trump's own actions in a probe that could dog his presidency for the foreseeable future.

But he largely appeared to close the saga that began in May after he fired Comey, then the head of an investigation into Trump associates' ties to Russian officials.

Fox News Channel released excerpts late Thursday after interviewing the president at the White House. Several Trump allies aired criticism of Mueller earlier this month, with one of Trump's friends telling PBS that Trump was mulling letting Mueller go.
